FTL Launcher Lite is one of the best lightweight full featured homescreen Launchers for Google Android devices. It has features like homescreen widgets, homescreen shortcuts, folders, and app shortcuts animation, Quicklaunch shortcut Dock, app drawer, and multiple homescreen support on FTL Launcher Lite.
It also does not come with any un-needed features like custom homescreen widgets, apps, and shortcuts to download, and install apps, or a custom app store like some more popular third-party launchers for Google Android.
FTL Lite app apk file size is only about 604 KB in size to download from the internet, so it uses very little storage space on your smartphone or tablet, and does not require a lot of data/bandwidth to download, and install. FTL takes only a few seconds ro download, and install on most smartphones and tablets running Google Android which run Android 2.2 and up.
FTL Launcher is designed to be very fast, and smooth. Its App drawer Waterfall effect is fully 3D accelerated. You can also use the normal 2D app drawer as well. The dock can hold 3 or 5 shortcuts on the dock. FTL launcher homescreen supports auto-rotation, Infinite looping, scrollable widgets, 1-9 homescreen, bounce effect homescreen transition, wallpaper scrolling, changeable transitioned of homescreens, and change to default homescreen
Users can change the swipe up finger gesture to show homescreen previews, open app drawer, hide status bar, show and hide status bar, and open and close dock bar. The Swipe Up Gesture comes disabled by default, and you need to change it in the FTL Lite settings.
You can also change the Homescreen grid from 4 to 6 rows.
I use FTL Launcher Lite on my older Kobo Vox tablet which is a slower tablet with less RAM, and a slower single-core CPU. FTL Launcher Lite runs pretty fast even on my older tablet. FTL Lite rarely freezes, and crashes on my tablet. FTL Lite also uses very little battery life on my tablet.
FTL Launcher Lite is a fast, lightweight, simple, and feature rich homescreen launcher for Google Android smartphones and tablets.
